Slow Play

We waited on EVERY SHOT. Locals we played with said the pace of play was normally much better.

Really fun design. Exceptionally interesting green complexes. Could use a little bit more tender, loving care. But for the price, compared to other courses, well worth it.

Waited on EVERY SHOT!

Pace of play frustratingly slow. No marshals to tell people ahead to pick up the pace.. Started at 12:30 pm and played many years ago; but never had this problem.

Nice Course

Course is in excellent condition. It has several challenging holes with bunkers and water protecting the greens, but overall plays quite fair. We would definitely play again if a reasonable price is available.

Great course, terrible price

I thought it was expensive when I booked $150 plus 10 for balls. The 2 people I played with paid 100 and the other 106. Be careful not to overpay.

Course in great condition

Having the no 1 handicap hole as the first hole is not a plus. Otherwise no complaints

Did they forget to mow?

Tee blocks were so long that there was grass between club and ball. Fairways needed a cut too…but worst of all were the greens. Extremely slow and no smooth rolls anywhere.

One of the best layouts in the valley, with great elevation change but course conditions need to improve before I would return.

Great experience!

Going back in a few days. This is a great course. Conditions are top shelf, greens and bunkers in very good shape. No dead spots anywhere that I saw. As a non-resident, there will never be great value for money anywhere, but that's the price we pay to swap snow shoes for golf shoes a few days a winter. Lol.

This place is permanently on my places to play list for future trips.

Good course and great fairways.

Played this course twice in a week and thoroughly enjoyed the course. My wife and I had a drink on the patio before we started at 2:00 PM. The bar service was extremely friendly and made you feel welcome. Would definitely recommend this course and the bar/patio. Again the fairways were great and the greens were a bit slow but not bad. All in all it was a pleasure,

Overall I would come back. They just did not do anything to make you feel like staying for drinks or dinner.
